Awesome job, Hoser! Been wondering how you were doing!

The green on white really "pops" and looks fantastic!

Striping pics...

(to make them officially a part of the build thread

)

jchav62 · 10-20-2009, 04:42 PM

One more...

bigblock73 · 10-20-2009, 09:42 PM

Are you putting the cab trim below the rear window to seperate the two colors?

Truck looks nice, like to pinstriping too. I will be doing the same to my 77 at some point in time.

Thanks guys!

I have the cab trim pieces. I plan on putting them on soon. I need the clips. I was also thinking of just using some double-sided trim tape. Anyone ever tried that?

joe231 · 10-21-2009, 12:04 AM

that striping is very clean!

silvereagle07 · 10-21-2009, 08:10 AM

I agree that striping looks great. Nice job!

STOCKISH · 10-21-2009, 08:59 AM

Very cool indeed.

Driveway Dreams · 10-21-2009, 01:33 PM

The truck is coming along great man! The paint looks good, but will look like it "fits" better when you get the trim on. I thought about some good ol' 3M double sided tape for mine too. It works well to hold things on to almost every newer car on the road. So, I don't see why it would not work in this application.

I actually used for the emblems on my '62 and it's been holding great. I may try it. I'll report the results on here.

jchav62 · 10-27-2009, 09:27 AM

I've done a couple of things to the truck to get it ready for the colder months. I scored a wiper motor on here from member "whiskeydented". Mine was out so I posted a WTB ad and he came through. Gave me a great deal and it works great. As for the wiper blade assemblies, I scored a set at a local swap meet for like $3...I didn't even put new "refills".. the blades are cherry. They've also been tested. We've had some wet weather here lately. I also got my heater/defrosters working. Keeps the cab nice and warm.

Other than that, I've been taking the truck out of town more often within a 60 mile radius...Moriarty, Pecos, Espanola, Albuquerque/Rio Rancho. She does great on the highway. Those 3.42's are great! Overdrive would be nice, be that's a 'whole nother' chapter.

Later...JC

I'm going to try the Duplicolor stuff I used for the dash and door panels. That stuff seems to be holding up well. I'm not sure how it will act with seatbelts, but we'll soon find out....

joe231 · 10-28-2009, 12:02 PM

Cool, I think I'm going to try the SEM stuff....
